The ultimate weekend knitting project, it’s a fast, incredibly satisfying knit designed to give you a boutique-quality wardrobe staple made by your own hands.
This vest can be knit with our signature Merino No. 5 yarn—an ultra-plush, super bulky merino wool OR our Big Cotton—a super chunky un-mercerized cotton yarn that knits up quickly into a gorgeous, chunky texture you’ll want to live in. The vest panels are worked flat from the bottom up, seamed at the shoulders and sides. Neckline is knit in the round by picking up stitches around the neck.
